Eating out

As one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world, London offers tourists and locals a wide range of alternatives when eating out is concerned; having said that, this range goes from traditional British food to the cutting-edge molecular one, passing by Chinese, French, Mexican, Spanish, Turkish and so on and so forth.

Perhaps the main thing that puts people off from eating out is the price, London is terribly expensive and on top of everything in certain restaurants you are given a time to eat after which you can have perhaps a drink in the bar.

I'm trying to wisely spend my money going to some well-known restaurants mainly around East London. In fact, I'm making a list of which restaurants people should go to based on recommendations. There you go:

• Almeida (French) X
• Bacchus (molecular)
• Bistrotheque (French)
• El Rincon Latino (Spanish)
• Frederick's (French)
• Gallipoli (Turkish) X
• Galvin (French)
• Julie's Restaurant (British)
• Le Palais du Jardin (French)
• Osteria Antica Bologna (Italian) X
• Ottolenghi (fusion) X
• Sabor (Latin American) X
• Santa Maria del Buen Ayre (Argentinean)
• Song Que Cafe (Vietnamese) X
• St. John (British)
• The Electric (gastropub) X
• The Elk in the Woods (gastropub)
• The Garrisons (gastropub)
• The Real Greek (Greek) X
• The Rivington (British)
• The Spitz (gastropub)
• The Twelfth House (British) X

Prices per person are between £20-£50 (glass of wine and service are included)
